School Update and Pictures #5

Our building is still right on schedule. The furniture has been ordered and should be delivered in July. Delivering and setting up over 800 desks and chairs, tables, etc. will be a challenging task. Luckily we will have great help. 

The power in the building has been on for a couple of weeks and the air conditioning is working well. They have just started laying the gym floor and bathroom stalls are being installed. It looks great! We can't wait for the students to come in the fall.
